Please critique cutting diet

Hey guys, Can you please tell me if this is good or bad. Others here told me that I need to add fats, what should I include? I'm 20 years old, 6'0, 197 pounds. TDEE is 3112. I take 1 fish oil morning and before i sleep.

OP - your fat intake should be around 90grams a day - pick what ever food you want to include this into your macro's. Personally, I would just add a couple of tablespoons of natural peanut butter, easy! Start cooking your meats in Olive oil will also help. The extra cals that you pick up by increasing your fats, drop the carbs to compensate.

Fats are too low. By my count they are around 36g when they should be closer to 100g. My suggestion: Pro: 200g Fat: 100g Carb: 175g For fat sources I'd suggest 5 whole eggs instead of 1 whole and 4 whites. Also full fat cottage cheese. Even a little butter on your toast in the morning.

Thanks. I'm not a fan of the cottage cheese, I just force it down to be honest, the honey makes it better. Any recommendations to replace that with? If I add peanut butter in my diet (mid afternoon and mid morning), is it necessary to add the 5 whole eggs?

I usually cook my eggs and meats with olive oil (especially the eggs cause it tastes better), is that a bad thing if I add peanut butter?

if you are just starting with the diet try not to reduce your caloric intake too much from maintenance. Looks like you've allowed a 700 deficit. As you progress with diet into 10-16+weeks you will find you may need to drop cals more and/or do more cardio. IMO i would start with as most cals as you can but remaining in a deficit and drop as you progress because no doubt you will have to keep on dropping as you loose weight or if weight loss stalls.

Diet looks very BRO but if you enjoy eating it, thats fine. As others suggest, up fats abit.. prolonged low fat intake will impact your hormones... that won't be fun.
